I go away for a couple years, and the board replaces me with this guy?
Ohio State -- Throw out the Michigan game, and their resume over the last six weeks includes losing by 29 to a 6-6 Purdue team, beating a 4-8 Nebraska team at home 36-31 while allowing 450 yards of total offense, and a 52-51 OT win over a 5-7 Maryland team that dropped 535 offensive yards on the Bucks.
Oklahoma -- What do Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and Notre Dame have in common? All four teams field Top 25-ranked defenses in yards allowed per game. Those four teams are also ranked 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 11th in scoring defenses. OU's ranking in those two categories? 109th and 100th.
Clemson -- Minus some first half red zone inefficiency, ND should've beaten Syracuse by about 50. I forget, how did Clemson look against Syracuse?
UCF -- Yeah, whatever.
Barring any cataclysmic collapses in their championship games, I think it will be Bama-Clemson-ND-OU, but wouldnt be surprised if the Buckeyes sneak in over the Sooners. It all depends on how many members of the committee have paid attention to OU's defense, and/or how many watch just Michigan film for Ohio State and ignore how terrible the team has played otherwise since October 20.
